In 1977, David Holden, chief correspondent of the Sunday Times, was sent to Cairo to report on crucial peace talks between Egypt and Israel. A day later his body was found with a single gunshot wound in the back. The paper's editor sent a team of reporters to the region to investigate, but who killed Holden and why are questions that were never answered. The mystery remained unsolved for decades. In part 2 a young reporter picks up the trail - can he succeed when all other leads have gone cold?
